BuiltbyTennessee: Ryan after Herring committed he mentioned guys ready to come with him.
Any possible names we might not know or perhaps a name he could be referencing? Shot at Vic Burley and Tate?
Callahan: I don't know about "ready" to come with him, but I think CB
Cristian Conyer of Bowling Green, Ky. — one of his 7-on-7 teammates — is one of the guys he's closest with and certainly a legitimate possibility for Tennessee. Herring knows some other guys, but I wouldn't say he's really close enough to some of the other guys who might have talked with him to know for sure that anybody is likely to end up at UT. Prospects sometimes talk a big game to other prospects, if that makes sense, knowing that players want them to come to the schools they have already chosen, so I don't necessarily put a lot of stock into that talk in many situations.
But the Vols have built some strong connections to Conyer — Caleb and
Elijah Herring have been his 7-on-7 teammates, along with Vols WR
Cameron Miller — and I think they might have a slight edge over Kentucky right now in what's going to be a major battle to the end between those two programs in particular. In terms of the meaningful relationships Herring might have, Conyer is probably at the top of the list among Tennessee's remaining targets.
